How well do you shoot? I know there are days that I can't hit the ground with my hat when the doves are flying crazy with a good tailwind. I think Robert Ruark said that dove hunting was either the hardest easy shooting or the easiest hard shooting that there is. I think he was right.
Well Its all about weather conditions on the amount of doves I see. When they are flying good it makes it for a great day and I am also on and off I think we all are. Somedays I can hit everything and somedays I cant hit nothing buts thats why its hunting and not shooting! Good luck friend!
it is certainly true that many a hunter has "witnessed a miracle" when dove hunting: lo and behold: dead birds that kept on flying!!
I see plenty of those om the Sheet & Trap fields as well! But I hit more there than I do Doves, those things are EVIL!
Doves love wheat. Your performance is only as good as your preparation. If you can't hit 95% at skeet, take lessons. Aways shoot at least 250 rounds the week before the hunt.
